Letting God speak
“There she is!” my wife hissed, “Kill her!” I grabbed my 22 caliber rifle and put the thief’s head directly in my sights. She didn’t realize I was there and I was too close to miss. She was a repeat offender. This is the 3rd time we had caught her, or one of her thieving …
Who Am I Exodus 3:11-12a ESV But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Children if Israel out of Egypt?” He (God) said, “I will be with you …” In Exodus chapter 3 we find the story of Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush. …
Over the years I have heard of two different churches with very poignant signs over the main doors. The first church had a sign on the outside over the entrance that read “Break Room” while the second church had a sign on the inside over the exit that said, “Servant’s Entrance.” Combine those two signs, …

Much is made of Good Friday and Easter Sunday in Christian circles. Rightly so, because Good Friday and Easter comprise the heart of Christianity. Jesus death paid the penalty for our sin and redeemed us so that we could have a relationship with God. His resurrection shattered the power of death allowing us to live …
On the way into work this morning I was praying and was struck with the “revelation” of just how absurd the Christian faith is. I mean just think about it for a minute … an eternal, all-powerful, omniscient, infinite, being loves us. He cares for us so much that He became one of us to …
2 Corinthians 7:1 … let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. My goal for this blog is to dive God’s Word and see what it says. Obviously, since it is my blog the lessons/devotions are going to be my interpretation of what …
